Chapter Outline

(00:00) Excitement for the New Facility
I shared my gratitude for Sam Chaco and Loft City Church, describing how their generosity will let us use their beautifully renovated worship center for Saturday gatherings. I encouraged folks to consider coming not just on launch night, but to spread out over the first several weeks to help create a warm, friendly welcome for newcomers.

(03:35) UTD Outreach Adventures

I reflected on recent outreach at the University of Texas at Dallas, from a spontaneous discipleship conversation at Starbucks to handing out invite cards across campus. I described a memorable interaction with a student who sees music as his religion, how I was able to share the gospel, and encouraged our community to step out in boldness even when it feels awkward.

(09:16) Vision for Multiplying Prayer Groups

I explained how our weekly Tuesday morning prayer has become a special, Spirit-filled time, and shared the conviction I received from the Lord about multiplying these groups. I described the plan to train leaders and launch several more prayer gatherings before our church’s public launch, envisioning Breakthrough as a church deeply rooted in prayer.

(12:52) God’s Design for Multiplication

I connected the concept of multiplication to biblical creation and Jesus’s ministry, encouraging everyone that true maturity in Christ includes multiplying what God has done in us. I urged the community to consider how we’re each called to make disciples and plant spiritual seeds in others.

(16:12) The Power of Intimacy With God

I closed with thoughts on intimacy with the Lord as the environment where new things are birthed in our lives. I encouraged listeners to carve out dedicated time with God, reminding them that from this closeness, God brings growth and multiplication in and through us.
